I love the ‘reframe’ on the ‘tips tag’ to focus on what ‘makes you happy as a writer’ … and the 3 things you suggest ‘resonate’ and make sense to me …(especially #2 – forgetting the audience) … perhaps explaining why I journal and blog yet don’t ‘publish’ in any marketable form. I journal for my own reasons … (usually to explore and understand some issue or experience) and the blogging is simply an ‘extension’ of the writing I’ve always done … pretty much for myself (though I do enjoy comments). Thanks for tackling this one!
Hugs and blessings,

I'm thinking that you could use "Real Name, MPJ" as if it's a designation so that your reputation in here could travel with you on dry land.

Excellent.
Forgetting or ignoring the audience goes a long way to writing honestly.

Oh, I definitely laugh at all of my own jokes, too. At least, I think that I'm funny!
